Looks like just over a month away. Online reg should be open in a couple of days. Will keep you posted. Looks like other events are also on this date so turnout should be small. This is a PDGA fundraiser event. So no added fees. I've raised some extra money. It may be enough already that I will be able to pay out 100% to players and still meet PDGA guidelines for fundraising. Go Special Olympics.

Looks like a fair amount of intermediate ams are signed up but only 3 pros, 30 american dollars to play open for a pdga-sanctioned tournament on a sweet temp layout is pretty awesome opportunity.

I agree Mr. Kirk, I agree. It just looks like you're gonna have to get a hold of some of your fellow pros and get them signed up. Use those diplomatic skills of yours.... Who wants to play doubles on the tournament layout at Milo anyway.......

Special Thanks: The city of McMinnville parks department for the donation of trail bark. Patton middle school for the field donation( only $15.00 to rent now). Franz for the field use as well. My mother for always paying the pdga fees which never come out of payouts. Mike for the on line reg.. Mr. Miller for the great selection for script.

Special Basket Note: If you have a quality portable basket and want to bring it for use let me know. I could always upgrade a couple of mine. I would like to move basket 3 up the hill as well. That makes 7 portable baskets. Another quality portable would be usefull.

Course Update: Hole 3 basket will be moved up the hill. Unless an act of the sun happens and it dries out. Any where on the course that has a real sloshy wet area might be marked with free drop zone. Hole 7 will have a back O.B. line between the corner of the tennis courts and the track. Hole 8 will have the same O.B. line.

Fees: Just a reminder that this is a PDGA fundraiser. So no $10.00 added non pdga member fees.

Benifit Lunch: Made by my wife as always. Is looking like Ham and bean soup, bacon and potato soup, and sandwiches. Added food is always welcome. It is only $2.00 for lunch.

Weather. Not that it can compare to last year but the forcast is good so far.

I have a basket Terry, Jesse has one too I'm sure he wouldn't mind bringing. When are we gonna spread that bark? Wed, and Thurs. are looking dry. I can help any day of the week though,

Thanks Mike I'll use it. I just take for granted that I will use Jesse's and Shaun's baskets. Thanks guys. Actually wouldn't mind replacing hole six as well. As for bark spreading. I will start at 5:30 today. Will do some in the morning before the meeting. Will do some more later Sunday. Monday late afternoon. Tuesday around 2:00 p.m.. All day Friday and Saturday if needed. We can have more than 1 pile. Just one pile at a time. Extra wheel barrel and tools can help as well.
